    Harbor Freight cargo bed unloader

    Hello, ST nation! Glad to see folks still actively participating here. My local county dump has a great deal: For $5, you can get a big scoop of mulch that they process from yard waste. The current pile they have at the dump has been sitting for a couple of years, so it's really broken...

    Sport Trac restoration

    Howdy, all. Glad to see folks still interacting here. Big time thanks to Todd Z and George C for keeping this place going. Still have my '01. Has 100K miles on it, and now does light "farm duty" at my rural property in N. Georgia. My son will head off to college later this year...

    2001 OEM tonneau cover

    I no longer use my OEM tonneau cover, and it's just taking up storage space. It has wear consistent with the age, some minor scratches and fading, but overall still in very good shape. $150 obo, picked up in Lawrenceville, GA area.

    The engine control cable saga, continued

    Some of you may recall I damaged the engine control wiring harness and found a replacement cable via Fast Parts Network (thank you, Torrie!) The replacement cable showed up a couple of weeks ago, and last weekend I started removing the old cable. The cable is a nightmare. Looks like two...

    Can this be right? Wiring harness is obsolete part and unavailable?

    Last week, I posted about my damaged engine control wiring harness. I attempted to repair it myself. Didn't work out. Figured I would suck it up and just order the new one, rather than try to redo the repair. Called my local Ford dealer. Gave them the VIN. Was told the part is...

    Main engine control wiring harness

    Long time no see, folks. Hope the Sport Trac faithful are all doing well. My OD light started blinking. I checked my transmission fluid and under the truck to make sure I wasn't leaking anything. All looked ok. While I was under there, I noticed the wiring harness the leads to the...

    Funny thing about replacing the brake pads

    Just replaced the front brake pads on my ST for the third time. I'm at about 90K miles. The funny thing about this maintenance task is that it's long enough between occurrences that I forget exactly how it went the previous time. I spend about 30 minutes changing the pads on the first...

    Harmony Remote owners, your input requested

    Need some feedback from those of you with Harmony (or other brand) intelligent/programmable remotes. After reparing some basement water damage from the recent floods here in GA, I've decided there is no time like the present for reworking one of the basement rooms into a more formal home...

    Cash for Clunkers: Gen 1 ST trade in qualfies for a new Gen 2 ST with V8!

    Wouldn't have believed it if I didn't do the math myself, but here's the rule breakdown: - The clunker has to be less than 25 years old (all STs qualify) - The clunker has to be registered and insured for the year preceding trade in (that's specific to your situation) - The clunker must...

    Yet another oil thread

    First, let me say, when it comes to oils, I have never bought into the hype of the high priced stuff. I grew up watching those 1970's Mobil 1 commercials where they suggested you could go 25,000 miles between oil changes. Uh, no thanks. Synthetic is too expensive to change every few...

    Squeaking under the driver side feet

    My faithful 2001 ST is squeaking a bit when going over bumps, and the noise seems to eminate right under my feet. I haven't crawled under the truck to look yet, but I am guessing that I need new sway bar bushings. Confirmation of my diagnosis?

    The Sterns are now a two Ford family

    We've been searching for a replacement for our 2001 Chryslyer minivan for a few months. The Chrysler was showing its age, despite only 91K miles. And we need a tow capable vehicle that could handle more passengers, luggage and big dogs than my ST can reasonably manage. Basically, a full size...

    Recent car buying dollars off MSRP?

    Need some feedback from those of you who have been in the market for a new auto lately. We're looking to replace our Chrysler minivan with a full size SUV, and it's likely going to be an Expedition or an Armada. We like both. My Sport Trac has been excellent. I wouldn't mind being loyal to...

    Peter Schiff on the economy

    Peter Schiff is a professional fund manager. For two years, he's been telling people that what we are experiencing right now was going to happen. His peers laughed at him, told him he was nuts. Here's a montage of some TV appearances where he now looks like a sage, and the guys shouting...

    More evidence of car biz misery

    Our Chrysler minivan is starting to show it's age, and we're considering trading it in, figuring that it is a buyers market right now. So, yesterday, I sit down with the Sunday paper to start sifting through the ads for potential replacement candidates. And what do I find? Almost nothing...

    New truck prices

    Was flipping through the Sunday paper, came across a Ford/Lincoln/Mercury dealer ad that caught my attention. Prices seem substantially lower than a year or two ago. Was surprised to see a new 2008 ST limited with V8 and leather for 27K, and even more shocking a new Lincoln Mark LT for $28K...
